Welcome to the Baha’i Community of Arlington, TX.
We are the Bahá’ís of Arlingon, followers of the Bahá’í Faith, the youngest and second most geographically widespread of the world religions, established in 235 countries and territories throughout the world. There are around 5 million Bahá’ís worldwide drawn from over 2,100 ethnic, racial, and tribal groups.
Bahá’u’lláh is the Founder of the Bahá’í Faith. He taught around 150 years ago that humanity was one single race and that the day had come for the world to become unified in one global society. Bahá’u’lláh wrote:
“The well-being of mankind, its peace and security, are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established.”
Some principles of the Bahá’í Faith
- Oneness of God
- Oneness of humankind
- Oneness of religion
- Independent investigation of truth
- Universal peace
- Religion should be a source of unity
- Religion is progressive
- Harmony between religion and science
- Peaceful consultation as a means for resolving conflicts
- Universal education
- An international auxiliary language
- Elimination of all forms of prejudice
- Equality of women and men
- Abolition of extremes of wealth and poverty
The local Bahá’í community of Arlington works for principles of social transformation and unity. We hold regular devotional meetings, study circles, classes for children and junior youth, and introductory meetings about the Bahá’í Faith.
We invite you to learn more about our Faith with us – about its perspective of the past, its understanding of our present, and its vision of the future. Find out more on our Events page or contact us.
